<p class="info">The 2011 game has been revealed as Logomotion. The title is based off of the song "Locomotion" by Eva Boyd.</p>

<p class="info">However, this game has nothing to do with trains or dancing. Instead, we have inflatable tubes in the shape of the FIRST logo. These shapes are a red triangle, a blue square and a white circle. In order to score points, we have to put the inner tubes on hooks attached to the plexiglass wall in front of the drivers. </p>

<p class="info">There are three rows of pegs, with the tallest 11 feet off of the floor. The tubes put on the top pegs are worth the most: 3 points per tube. It's worth 2 points for the middle row, and 1 for the bottom. If you can organize the inner tubes to be in the shape of the FIRST logo, with this tube on the left, this one in the middle and the last on the right, then you score a 2 times bonus for that row. Now, the points you receive are doubled!</p>

<p class="info">The same goes with the übertubes. These tubes are yellow circles that are the same size as the FIRST logos. <img src="Images/Ubertube.jpg" class="ubertube" alt="Ubertube"/>They use these during autonomous mode, when the robot has to control itself. The robot has 15 seconds to put the übertube onto one of the pegs. Then, wherever the übertube is located, you get a 2 times bonus for that peg. So, any other tube on that peg will be doubled.</p>

<p class="info">At the last 15 seconds of the game, once the 2 minutes of gameplay has elapsed, we begin a stage where we release our minibots. Like it sounds, minibots are cute, small robots with only one thing to do. It has to climb up a large steel pole. It may seem easy, but there are so many things working against you, like gravity. So, the point is to get your small robot up to the top of the pole first. The first one to the top gets 30 extra points at the end. This can be a great leap if you are losing by 25, and manage to get your robot up first. There are only four poles on the game field, so there can only be a second, third, and fourth place runner after first. The second place team gets 20 points, third gets 15, and fourth gets only 10 points.</p>

<p class="info">This video was the one released to the team VIA Nasa's satellite. It was shown to everyone around the world at the same time. It taught us about the basics of the game. Watch it to help review, and learn more about the game.</p>
